Civil War Stories

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

Academy Award Winner
Grand Prix Award - Cannes Film Festival

On a lonely bridge a group of soldiers prepares for the somber task of hanging one of their countrymen, now an enemy, for sabotage. Ambrose Bierce’s heralded story from “Tales of Soldiers and Civilians” begins on this isolated bridge and envelops a journey through the mind and dreams of a man facing death.

Parker Anderson, Philosopher

“This classic Civil War story is as fresh and relevant as if it were written today.” – Video Times

Confederate Generals don’t look kindly upon Yankee spies - in fact, they’re hanged at sunrise… usually. Parker Anderson is a confessed spy whose philosophizing about his fate forces his executioner to confront his own mortality - and take a long, hard look at the death that awaits every soldier, and every human being.
